We lost another Schooner last night. Losing ships is of course a part of the game, and I really wouldn't mind that much if it was at sea, trying to deal with the ships of the damned. This time however, the ship was safely anchored next to our shipyard, and apparently decided to self destruct during the night. We didn't even have the chance to take it to it's maiden voyage. I personally had the ship larder fully stocked with food, prepared 10 beautiful cannons and ammunition for them , in case we'd have to defend ourselves at sea. Filled the lanterns with oil, so we wouldn't have to sail in the darkness, hauled all the necessary repair materials to the ship storage and made sure we had some nice tunes picked for our war drums. After a hard day's labor, I decided I had deserved some rest and went to bed. Apparently, the gods did not take this too well, as next morning I woke up to find only flotsam in the place where our ship used t o be, and an empty ship skeleton at the bottom of the sea. Such a waste of materials and man hours... As we are a very small company with most of the members unable to play excessive amounts of time, these losses hit us pretty hard. Oh, did I happen to tell you what happened to our first schooner? We apparently did not have luck on our side, as we encountered around 7 ships of the damned in a storm. Miraculously, we managed to escape the hostile ships and the storm, and as we let out a sigh of relief, our ship did a 360 barrel roll,and instantly sunk. not giving us a chance to do any repairs. Hence, we've named our 2 sloops CCCLX No Hope and CCCLX No Hope II, both being mercilessly brought down by the damned. Once again we find ourselves shipless. This is a bit of a drag, as half of our claim resources have disappeared after our friendly neighbour placed a boyu next to our claim, and the island also happens to be infested by wolves and lions who enjoy attacking defenseless people in packks, making the resource gathering intolerable. Sorry for the rant, just being a bit frustrated at the moment.

I was in the middle of building pieces for a sloop, dock, everything. I log out last night after anchoring in the southwest southern island freeport of E12. I log back in and my raft is destroyed with no explanation of what happened. from what it appears as soon as I logged out the raft was destroyed. I am looking for an explanation, maybe reimbursement but I think that is not going to happen. Anyways thanks for making a great game, although some of the bugs are kind of killing it for most of us. Below is a screenshot I took trying to put 2 and 2 together.

hopefully this isn't already posted 100 times on here already but, Is running into 7, i repeat 7, Pirate of the damned ships/Ghost ships with in 2-3 mins of each other really how this games spawning mechanic is supposed to work? we avoided 4 ships barely as the first spawned off our right side , then the second straight ahead taking away most the wind. then a 3rd ship off to our left effectively taking away all the wind lanes and surrounding us with all ships spawning 400-500 meters out. we thread the needle of the ship on our right and center as we near the N4/N5 boarder as the 4th ship spawns left and starts to circle left and makes a pretty abrupt turn right and aggro's toward us as we cross the boarder. it follows through the server line and is about 80% accurate on shots as you guessed it we make it through about 4-5 volleys of fire 2 more ships spawn ahead left and right of us . only option is keep the wind at our back and full sail to out run . we out run the original enough the cannons our falling short only to have both ships on our left and right to aggro and we start taking on water, repair, and have a final 7th ship spawn ahead of us and finishing us off sinking it. so really love that in a 5 min span we have to deal with 7 ships in less than 5 min . I feel like this is a pretty absurd amount of POTD/Ghost ships in such a small distance and to have them in such a small amount of space to react. I'm assuming this is not an isolated incident but would like to hear either way what everyone's experience is so far on actual ships that are not rafts .

Hello, we were making a brigantine, and basically 3 days in the crafting of everythin a ghost ship started attacking our boat that wasn't even on water. I saw myself forced to demolish everything before losing all the materials. We are a group of 4 and we were 2 online, and we arrived to the shipyard when he was already shooting it, so we wheren't close to it. After i demolished the body of the ship it started attacking us, and when we died it stop and got stucked with the shipyard, I had to go with a sickle and start hitting it to get rid of it. I got some loot, but I would gladly give it back for our 2/3 days of work. So, please make them not get trigered by ships still on shipyard or make them not get too close to islands. I recommend (and i will do): Just farm everything and build everything at the same time.
